Heart full of joy

I tried to post a picture but there is something wrong with my computer (again) so I guess I will just post my thoughts. The beginning of this year Tevita and I sat down with our kids and talked about our goals for this coming year. I wrote them down in my journal for us and had each one of the kids write what they wanted for this year. It was really nice listening to the kids and help them with their goals. We made some really good spiritual goals and I am looking so forward to accomplishing them. Today Tevita and I went to the temple. We left this morning at 7:30am to get there. It was such a good feeling, getting up and going there. I left the temple with a heart full of joy. Both Tevita and I just sat there and didn't want to leave. We have so much to be grateful for. As we were walking I told him about what my friend Heather told me about the people of Haiti saving money for years in order to go to a temple once. Then Tevita told me about how the people of Tonga were so blessed when they got their temple. He said that people used to sale everything they had so they could go to New Zealand and get sealed and then come back and that was it because they had already sold everything they owned. What a blessing it is for us to be able to go to the temple so close. I love going there and always feel like I can take on the world after I have been. So look out world...here I come!:)
